It depends on the wheels and the sidewalk. If you have high-quality wheels
and a good sidewalk there is little problem. I've towed my TravelPro bag for
miles (with more weight than I could possibly carry). And worst case
scenario, I have to order a new set of wheels. I can see problems in some
place like Portugal where the sidewalks are made of little blocks of
limestone with sand in-between.
